Genoa and Trento meet in a pre-season friendly on July 19, with Daniele De Rossi’s Serie A side taking on Luca Tabbiani’s lower-league outfit in what looks like a controlled warm-up fixture. The most interesting angle here is the contrast in seasonal momentum: Trento have actually been the more productive side in terms of win rate this calendar year, winning 50% of their 20 matches, compared to Genoa’s 33% from 21 outings. That gap is worth noting even accounting for the difference in competition level.
Among the players to watch, Genoa’s squad under De Rossi will be looking to build combinations ahead of the new Serie A campaign. On the Trento side, their attacking unit has shown some punch in recent fixtures, putting three past both Renate and Cittadella in consecutive matches, suggesting their forwards arrive with confidence.
Hot stat: Trento scored three goals in back-to-back matches against Renate (3-3) and Cittadella (3-1) heading into this fixture, showing genuine attacking output despite operating at a lower tier.

Genoa vs Trento Prediction
Genoa are the clear class act on paper. As a Serie A club ranked 141st in the world, they face a Trento side ranked 4,656th. De Rossi will use this match to test rotations, build fitness, and perhaps try out a tactical shape ahead of the competitive season. That context matters when picking a market.
The best value here lies with Genoa to win. Even in a friendly setting where effort levels can vary, the quality gap is substantial. Genoa’s last five competitive matches came against Serie A opposition including Milan, Atalanta, and Fiorentina. Their results were modest, but the level of competition they have been preparing for is far higher than anything Trento can replicate.
Trento’s recent form tells a mixed story. They recorded four wins in their last five matches but also suffered a home defeat to Giana Erminio and were held to a goalless draw by AC Dolomiti Bellunesi, a side ranked outside the top 24,000 in the world. Their defensive record is inconsistent, which plays into Genoa’s hands.
Without detailed shot, foul, or card data available for either team’s last five matches, we lean on seasonal patterns and the broader context. Genoa’s Serie A preparation will have sharpened their pressing and structured play, while Trento are a Serie C-level outfit using this fixture as a step up in quality. We predict a comfortable Genoa win, likely with goals at both ends given Trento’s willingness to attack.
- We predict Genoa to win this match with a margin of at least two goals.
- Both teams to score looks viable given Trento’s attacking output and Genoa’s experimental defensive setup in pre-season.
- Over 2.5 goals is a reasonable angle given the attacking intent from both sides in recent outings.

Team Analysis
Genoa arrive at this friendly off the back of a difficult end to their Serie A campaign. Their last five league matches produced one draw against Fiorentina, one against Atalanta, a defeat to Lecce, a defeat to Milan, and a defeat to Como. The Como loss was particularly telling, a 2-0 result at home that capped a run of four matches without a win. Genoa’s form across the last 15 results shows a team that struggled for consistency, picking up wins and losses in roughly equal measure without stringing results together. De Rossi will want to use the summer window to sharpen his squad’s attacking output and tighten defensive structure.
Trento’s most recent match ended in a 1-2 home defeat to Giana Erminio, a result that snapped a run of positive performances. Prior to that, they had beaten Cittadella 3-1, drawn 3-3 with Renate in a high-scoring affair, earned a goalless draw against AC Dolomiti Bellunesi, and lost narrowly 1-2 to Inter Milan’s U23 side. Their year-long record of 50% win rate from 20 matches shows a functional side at their level, but the step up to face a Serie A club represents a genuine test. Tabbiani’s team play with directness and are not afraid to commit forward, which could leave gaps at the back against higher-quality opposition.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Genoa are the stronger side by a wide margin and should control this fixture from early on. De Rossi’s squad has been competing at the top flight of Italian football while Trento operate in Serie C, and that difference in class should show even in a pre-season setting where intensity is managed.
Trento’s attacking courage may earn them a goal, particularly given their recent three-goal performances and their habit of pressing forward. To be honest, Genoa’s back line will likely be rotated and tested in this environment, which keeps the both teams to score option relevant.
We predict a Genoa win with goals on both sides. The scoreline profile points toward something in the range of 3-1 or 2-1 in Genoa’s favour, with the Ligurian side using the match to build match sharpness ahead of the new Serie A season. Trento will give a decent account of themselves but will ultimately be outclassed.
